Airbus’ facilities in Spain have temporarily suspended plane production but are now working to produce 3D printed visor frames, providing healthcare personnel with individual protection equipment in the fight against Covid-19.
More than twenty 3D printers are working continuously and hundreds of visors have already been produced and dispatched to hospitals close to the Airbus facilities in Spain.
“One of the reasons I love my job is the capability we have for advanced design and quick manufacture,” said Alvaro Jara, head of Airbus Protospace, in Getafe, Madrid.
Despite the pause of the majority of production at Airbus’ sites in Spain following a directive on 29 March, Airbus employees are allowed on-site to continue with this essential activity.
Airbus in Germany also joined the project. The Airbus Protospace Germany and the Airbus Composite Technology Centre (CTC) in Stade, together with the 3D-printing network named “Mobility goes Additive,” are now supporting the project in Spain.
